Guys and Gals
Got in bother with the police, was questioned 3 hours after an accident involving only my car (the other carried on driving and did not stop) I had not had anything t drink at the time of the incident. Infact to avoid an oncoming car i had to go off the road in a big merc and went between two trees with only 3 inches clearance either side of the car without marking the car. The car was stuck in a ditch and i called for recovery. The police came to my house and Admitted i had been drinking since arriving home after the accident. Even though the back calculations have me in the clear the police for some reason are still pressing ahead. I'm stupid for drinking after the incident (was nearly killed by being run off the road), however loosing my licence as i do 35K per year would be a finisher. Would be grateful for any help from you guys, in particular Nick Freemans number.
Thanks

Sorry i dont have his contact details and im sorry if this isnt the time to say this, but, If i was almost killed by some twit running me off the road, i too would head home and have a very stiff drink, surely the police cant charge you with this ?

So the police have given you a breath test sometime after the alledged incident? I can't see how this could be made to stand up in court myself, as surely it can't be proven what has happened in the meantime. Then again, who knows these days....

^^^ wasn't it £10,000 a day, or was it £100,000 a day?

I've heard about £10k per basic case. I imagine it all depends on the work involved and level of court/travelling time etc.

I'd have thought that any decent lawyer should be able to get a drink driving case dropped as they can't prove you were unfit to drive at the time of the accident.

Surely the burden of proof is on the prosecution? Innocent until proven guilty, beyond all reasonable doubt, etc.

I reckon even if you were p1ssed up at the time of the incident they'd be hard pressed to make this one stick.

It won't stick.

A man was seen staggering into his car in the local pub car park and then seen drive down the side of my old car before driving off home. The police were called and went straight round his house but he said he'd been on the whiskey since getting home. They dropped it as there was no evidence he was lying and they'd be laughed out of court. The best I could hope for was a hit and run.

There was a case years ago, where the bloke got off as they couldn't prove the he was drunk at the time of the incident.

My sister went through similar, police arrived at house with bunch of questions, breathalysed her and she was over the top. Said she had been drinking at home since getting back in, they took loads of details and took away bottles of spirits etc. Dragged on for while but nothing came of it as they could not make it stick.

Difference to your case is that (too her shame) she had been drinking in a pub all afternoon, had stolen a stuffed fox from that pub because she found it offensive (it was holding a copy of playboy) and driven home after being chased out of the pub. People in the pub phoned police hence their visit and they were also willing to say that they had been serving her drinks all afternoon, she just said that she was buying them for her friend (2 at a time!!!) and she had not touched a drop. She even got into local paper as some sort of animal activist.

Anyway my point is they had a whole lot more on her than you so I really think you have nothing to worry about. Can I also say before anyone flames me that I do not condone my sisters actions she was a bloody idiot and I certainly told her so.

I don't think you need a £10,000 a day celeb lawyer to get out of this one.

Contact a half decent solicitor and it probably won't even get to court.

Were you arrested or did you go volentarily (sp?) to the station for questioning.

I would have asked to have my solicitor present in both situations.

if you haven't got a solicitor ask for recommendations from friends/colleagues.

Good luck.

Am I correct in saying that most Solicitors will give a free 1/2 hour consultation? I can't see why you'd need to pay Nick Freeman (and others), £4.99 a month to get what should be essentially free advice. Without reading all the terms and conditions, will the Defendant be required to pay extra amounts for the Solicitors services, should a defence to the charges be entered? Or is it an insurance underwritten product, such as a legal expenses insurance?

My m8 got banned for 12 months in similar circumstances. He wouldn't let them in the house to check for empties at the time though. (certain substances on display)

Of course, he *was* actually pissed when he crashed so he rolled over and pled guilty in the end.

I saw a short program about the man recently. Judging by the car (Bentley) and the sheer size of his house, it must be at least £10,000 to get him on the case!!

I used Nick about 7 years ago and his total costs were about £2.5K. That was a few sessions on the phone to Trevor, then finally speaking with Nick for the first time only just before we went into court for the single appearance needed to get me off with only a 3 week ban (most of which i spent in Las Vegas anyway!). It was speeding.

Strikes me this won't stick as you had been at home and on the sherbets, it cannot be proved you were drunk in charge. However, I do wonder whether they could get you on leaving the scene of an accident? That is the normal charge if someone buggers off so they cannot prove that they were drunk at the scene.

Don't think you'll get charged with leaving the scene unless you 'upset' road furniture or hit a third party.....


I think the others are right, doesn't sound like they have a case against you.
